Kalamazoo Bat Team Cabinet Sale or Trade

[Jim VB]

All kidding aside, I am not trying to turn Bruce's legitimate BST post into one of those old fashioned train wrecks.

He made a fair post trying to sell a valuable and rare card. This initial post was without the animosity that, sometimes, pops up in his listings. He then got tied up on business and didn't respond to emails. It happens. It's happened to all of us.

I did not respond, and would not have, until a couple of posters questioned his lack of response and he got nasty. Up until that point, there had been no "cynical comments" about his business nor his home office. He was offended by comments that no one had made.

I did, at that point, try to make light of it. After all, Barry has been one of Bruce's "explainers" for years. (I wanted to say "apologists", but that didn't sound right.) Barry has stood by Bruce when many of us wouldn't. I have always liked that about Barry.

That said, I understand why Bruce took my attempt at humor as an attack.

Bruce, good luck selling a nice card.
